A brief story of free expression on YouTube:
At some point they implemented what they called a 'Limited state', which stripped almost every functionality, like comments, likes, embedding or sharing on videos that did not violate their ToS, but were simply disliked by YouTube. They removed it after a while, I assume because of Streisand effect, but I'm not sure.
Then they changed their ToS that they could ban you for literally no reason whatsoever. They retracted that since as well, but are still doing basically just that, it just gives them plausible deniability I guess.
